Director Uses for Corn Husks Beyond Corn on the Cob

In summary, corn husks can be used in a variety of creative ways including as natural food wraps, cleaning tools, and even as a natural dye. They can also be incorporated into cooking by adding flavor and moisture to grilled meats, steaming vegetables, or using as a casing for sausages. Corn husks can also be used for DIY projects such as making baskets or natural decorations. While there are no specific health benefits, they are a natural and biodegradable alternative to plastic and can even be used as a natural exfoliant for the skin. And finally, corn husks can be composted or used as a natural mulch in the garden.

Can this be used for anything else besides corn on the cob?
 
I use it all the time to get that extra pineapple off the skin after using the pineapple wedger. I get a very full cup of fresh crushed pineapple from it!

It's a good cross sell! :cool:
